CONVENTION SCHEDULE: Spring/Summer 2016 Edition

'SUP, NERDS! I'm preparing for the grueling warm-weather convention season.

 SEE YA THERE!

Woohoo! I'm getting pumped for these events. C2E2 is going to be my first American comics convention I'm attending. Took me nine years to go to one. I'm very excited because I have final exams just days before C2E2 and it marks the start of spring break.

My boyfriend, Jacob, will be selling his painted retro video game consoles at Midwest Gaming Classic. He is sharing a table with one of my best friends, Julia, who sells anime-styled pop art. If you run into me, don't forget to buy me a drink. It's my birthday.

If you can guess my mystery cosplay, I bring a small treat to give you at that convention.


I'm designing two new cosplay for ACen, SGC, RTX and Anime Midwest. I will slowly reveal what I'm creating over the next few months. Both Jacob and Julia are waiting for information on vendor spaces at RTX. Hopeful we can get a space at a reasonable price.

I want to attend Anime Midwest, but I'm still figuring out days my job will allow me to take off. Not to mention, I'm a poor college student and I need to work during this time. To ensure that I can afford a full weekend at Midwest, I gladly accept donations. No pressure, but anything is appreciated.

Follow me on Twitter to get live updates when I'm at these cons. Let me know if you wanna hang!

Also, I will not have a new blog entry up for another week or so. I'm going through final projects and exams right now and blogging is a low priority until SPRING BREAK!

LATER, DWEEBS.
